Place the reactor and one loader together somewhere in your vessel's interior. It may be most efficient to place this close to where you intend to build your engines, as the reactor and engines are the main components that require fuel. Connect the reactor's fuel connector to the loader's output. A crew member should immediately pick up a fuel canister and deposit it on the loader. After a moment of spinup, your reactor will spring to life, ready to provide power to your ship. | Place the reactor and one loader together somewhere in your vessel's interior.

You can select the Atmosphere overlay to see the interior change from a lattice pattern to red horizontal lines. The lines will progress towards green and expand to fill their tiles as oxygen fills the atmosphere. Once the atmosphere is sufficient to sustain them, the crew members will begin to remove their space suits and transfer them to the cargo storage area. Keeping the space suits on hand is good in a hull breach during battle or if there is a blockage in your life support system. | You can select the Atmosphere overlay to see the interior change from a lattice pattern to red horizontal lines.
